Bragantino vs Oriente Petrolero Prediction: Three Important Points on the Line

In the upcoming fixture of Copa Sudamericana, Matchday 2, Bragantino will take on Oriente Petrolero at the Nabi Abi Chedid Stadium in Bragança Paulista. Bragantino has started the Sudamericana tournament with a win, whereas Oriente Petrolero is yet to register its first win. The upcoming fixture is the first official outing between the two teams at any stage. Hence, the odds of winning are likely to be in the home side’s favor. Bragantino is likely to continue with the same formation and players from the last match. However, we might see a couple of changes to Oriente Petrolera’s opening lineup. 

Going in the matchup, Red Bull Bragantino is coming off a win against Bahia (2-1), in which Bruninho and Eduardo Sasha scored goals in the second half of play. Though Bragantino went goalless in the first half of play, they got their attack right in the second half. Talking about Bragantino’s international run against Tacuary (1-4), Juninho Capixaba, Alerrandro, Talisson, and Gaustavinho scored goals. With 4 wins and a defeat in the last five matches played, Red Bull Bragantino will be looking to keep its winning form reasonably solid on the international stage. In 8 of the last 11 home matches, Red Bull Bragantino has secured comfortable wins, which is why they will be looking to play sensibly and register a win in front of their home crowd.

Lucao; Aderlan, Leonardo Realpe, Natan, Juninho Capixaba; Jadson, Matheus Fernandes; Talisson, Sorriso, Bruninho; Alerrandro.

Going in the matchup, Oriente Petrolero is coming off a close defeat against Royal Pari (1-2) in the Bolivian Primera Division. Cristian Alvarez scored the only goal for Oriente, and apart from that, the home side looked completely out of touch. Secondly, Estudiantes also didn’t start well against Estudiantes (0-1) and missed out on a few clearance opportunities. With 6 goals scored in the last five matches played, Oriente Petrolero averages 1.20 goals per game. Apart from the recent match form, the Bolivian team should show some responsibility and deliverance towards the game. 

Wilson Quiñónez; Wilfredo Soleto, Luis Gutiérrez, Adrian Sandoval, Jamir Berdecio; Alejandro Ampuero, Daniel Rojas, Cristhian Arabe, Cristian Álvarez, Erwin Sánchez; Jonathan Cristaldo.

Oriente Petrolero is missing the right balance in its formation and strategy, as it has scored and conceded 11 goals in recent matches. Hence, the Brazilian side is likely to stay on top of the visitors, and the match total is to be over 2.5 goals. As Bragantino has scored 12 goals in the last five matches, the upcoming match is likely to have them scoring at least 2 or more goals.

• Goals Over 2.5 for 1.60
• Both Teams To Score - No for 1.475
• Correct Score 3-0 for 6.5
